Answer 1

Answer:

$5\frac{1}{2}$ miles all together

Explanation:

Given the following question:

$3\frac{1}{6} +2\frac{2}{6}$

To find the answer we add the whole numbers, find the common denominator, then add the numerators, simplifying if needed of course.

$3\frac{1}{6} +2\frac{2}{6}$
$3+2=5$
$cd=6$
$1+2=3$
$=5\frac{3}{6}$

Simplify:
$=5\frac{3}{6}$
$\frac{3}{6} \div2=\frac{1}{2}$
$=5\frac{1}{2}$

Which means Teresa swam "5 1/2" miles all together throughout the two weeks.

Hope this helps.
